Hello,
It's my first contact in a discussion group and not familar how it's working. I would appreciate if someone could answer with my questions. I do have a Philco radio which it doesn't work. I have checked in my web sites to see any model that could look as mine but without success. The model number that I have goes like this: 19-0053. It has 8 tubes and it's a cabinet model. My goal is to find a place that could make it working again and also to find someone to restore the cabinet. Of couse I am counting on you guys to help for a reliable place. Since I am located in Montreal area (Canada) I am pretty sure that there is one close. Any idea of a ball park figure for the money that I will put to see it working again? I have some picture and if required I'll send it for additional information.

Many thanks in advance
Mario
